Lyrics Swinging On a Beam of Light - Ryan Boone

What a perfect night to throw it all away
What a perfect crime to even try to sing
Every word I wrote sounds like a heresy
Goddamn the lonely

Reaching for the stars to catch a glimpse of light
When I was seventeen it never felt so right
And my friends at home don't even want to hear me
God bless the phonies

Every sound's like I'm swinging on a beam of light
Every chord composed to score a dreamer's night
Somehow I knew I knew I knew I knew
I had to turn it down
Leave me alone now
I'm better lost and never found

I saw my heroes die the day they chose to know me
Death's on the other line I think he wants to hold me
Then on the radio I heard a song so lonely
From my heart it stole me

What's the point life I heard that death was cold
I've been burning up like the Cali coast
And all I ever wanted was to let go
It felt kind of homey

Every sound's like I'm swinging on a beam of light
Every chord composed to score a dreamer's night
Somehow I knew I knew I knew I knew
I had to turn it down
Leave me alone now
I'm better lost and never found

Every sound's like he's swinging on a beam of light
Every chord composed to score a dreamer's night
Somehow he knew he knew he knew he knew
He had to turn it down
Leave him alone now
Who needs a boy singing way too loud
